Transportation Infrastructure/Multimodal Products and Services Mission to Qatar and U.A.E.
An Incredible Business Opportunity
The Department of Commerce recognizes that while there are a number of U.S. companies that have been successful in Qatar and U.A.E., some companies need assistance negotiating these markets to take advantage of the great opportunities that exist. The Mission will assist U.S. businesses initiate or expand their exports to Qatar and U.A.E. by making business-to-business introductions, providing market access information, and facilitating access to government decision makers.
Why U.A.E.
The U.A.E. is the largest U.S. export market in the Middle East/North Africa region, the second largest economy in the region, and presents qualified American companies with opportunities to expand sales of their products and services to a fast growing market. The U.A.E. is the logistics and business services hub for the wider region. The 2009 GDP for the U.A.E. was $231.3 billion and the 2009 per capita income was $42,000. Despite the recent global financial crisis, the United States and the U.A.E. have continued their long-term trade and investment relationship. Exports between both countries have increased almost every year since 1971, when the U.A.E was established.
